the obama administration and the democrats, they're so happy and gloating about smacking those tax rates on the rich and there's this new assumption, this politically correct assumption that you know what? you rich people, you're going to bend over and take that spanking because we raised rates on you so there. when you soak the rich, the rich start packing and they'll go elsewhere. and golfer, phil mickleson might do that. >> the former president of france is also, he's going to london he says or the u.k., because he wants to develop his business opportunity, but he's also got a few little legal problems that many suspect that he's trying to avoid, allegations of corruption and fraud, so that might have a dual purpose if indeed he goes to london. >> that's true, but that 75% marginal tax rates on all earnings over a million dollars that france wants to slap on the rich. that had to be a factor as well. i mean, when you do that, look at phil mickleson, with the california raising its tax on the rich by 30%, to 13.3% in addition to the tax increases on the u.s., he faces a marginal tax ra

tonight we continue to follow the growing controversy how the obama administration is gifting some of our deadly military weapons to the radical regime in egypt as part of an aid package and to demonstrate how idiotic this this proposal is to give away 20 of our f-16's and 200 tanks to a country led by a 9-11 truther that refers to israelis as deden sent of apes and pigs, morsi, and we went to show how deadly the f-16 could be when in the wrong hands and here is a former u.s. fighter pilot. lt. colonel bruce bleakly. welcome to the program and thanks for being here. nice to be here, sean, thank you. >> sean: all right. what have you got? show everybody what we're giving this guy. >> okay. right behind me is a lucky barton f-16 fighter. the airplane first flew in 1974 and been in the united states air force inventory for almost 35 years, it can fly twice the speed of sound, it can climb to 60,000 feet and extremely maneuverable which has made it a very successful aircraft in air to air combat over the years. it's equipped with an internally mounted 20 millimeter cannon, and this is the

how crucial will the obama administration's event, like the one we're going to see today, be to getting something passed legislatively. this whole big pr push they have going on? >> one thing that struck me when we heard senator feinstein read that litany of places that have seen terrible shooting rampages is that one thing that is different this time is that there is at least a big debate going on about it in washington that has engaged the president. it's been a decade since that has happened in response tho to these shooting incidents and tragedies. so that's different. what isn't different is that as we heard senator schumer and others acknowledge, a very hard road to go to get actual legislation passed here. now i think more likely that we would see something like universal background checks or this gun trafficking measure that's going to be introduced by senator gillibrand and others, senator kirk in the next few days. hard to see senator feinstein's bill actually being enacted. and yet it is clearly true there is something different going on this time than in past incidents. >> y
